“Constant Practice Alone is the Secret to Success” – Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Personal Journey:
Host shares her 15-year experience living with Graves’ Disease (hyperthyroidism).
A message of hope for those at the beginning of their thyroid journey and insights for those with longer experiences.
Understanding Graves’ Disease:
An autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid. Symptoms include weight gain, heart palpitations, shaking, and fatigue.
Brain-Body Connection:

• Emotional brain (amygdala) triggers stress responses (fight/flight).
• Cognitive brain (prefrontal cortex) regulates emotional responses.
• Yoga helps balance these systems through asanas (postures) and relaxation techniques.

Stress and the Thyroid:
Chronic stress can disrupt thyroid function, worsening symptoms. Yoga reduces stress by calming the emotional brain and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation response).
Long-term Benefits of Yoga:
Helps manage stress, recognize emotions, and release physical tension. Offers a sustainable, supportive approach to navigating thyroid health and emotional well-being.

Western Perspective

• Aging is often seen as a decline, with emphasis on anti-aging products and fighting the process.

Ayurvedic and Yogic Perspective

• Aging is an opportunity for growth, wisdom, and balance.
• Ayurveda emphasizes balancing doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) for healthy aging.

Biological Age vs. Chronological Age

• Biological age reflects physical and mental vitality, not just years lived.
• Lifestyle choices, such as yoga and a balanced diet, can influence biological age.

Closing

• Aging is a journey of balance, grace, and vitality.
• Highlighting the benefits of Ashwagandha cream as a transdermal, cooling anti-aging option.
• Reminder to consult experts before adding new herbal remedies to routines.

Conclusion: Age is not a number, but a journey shaped by lifestyle and perspective.
